What does the Bprotector (fs) virus do?

I downloaded something once and I ended up getting this virus but I got it removed. But currently, I'm running a scan and it's found 314 traces of this virus on my laptop.

How exactly does it harm your PC? What does it do? And where does it come from?

I made a bit of a mistake in there. I have 314 in quarantine, and this scan has found 40 so far

Hello Jack,

First thing=WHAT are you scanning with and what security software do you have on your computer. Knowing this helps us not post something you have already tried.

Bprotector seems to be Adware more or less(part of MyWebSearch, etc....) If this is correct, then your home page should have been changed and will not let you re-set it back to norm
Tools to use:
Kaspersky’s Rootkit.Win32.TDSS Remover(Just as a precaution)
